7 h. ago The Last of Us recap: season two, episode four – now that is what you call romance

From emotional a-ha songs to taking a bite for the one you desire, love blossomed beautifully here. But is this the point of no return?This article contains spoilers for the The Last of Us season two. Please do not read unless you have seen episodes one to four.It’s natural to think of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as the most direct character in The Last of Us. Her immunity to the infection that has everyone else on edge combined with the inherent rebelliousness of a 19-year-old means she is rarely the most tactful of speakers. But sometimes it is Ellie’s incorrigible crush Dina (Isabela Merced) who gets straight to the point. As the pair gaze up at the grisly sight of bodies strung up with their intestines ripped out, Dina makes a very salient observation: “What the fuck is wrong with Seattle?” Continue reading...

‘Difficult decision’ on trans women based on legal adviceGoal Diggers FC march 12 miles to deliver protest letterMark Bullingham, the chief executive of the Football Association, has written to London grassroots football club Goal Diggers FC explaining the governing body’s decision to ban transgender women from women’s football “was not an ideological judgment, but a difficult decision” based on legal advice that a “change in policy was necessary” following the supreme court ruling which said the term “woman” in the Equality Act refers only to a biological woman.Representatives of Goal Diggers undertook a 12-mile walk from their training pitches in Haggerston Park to Wembley Stadium to deliver their open letter to the FA. In it they demanded a reversal of the ban on transgender women from women’s football and described the FA’s decision as a “pitiful and weak response” to the supreme court’s ruling. Bullingham said the FA understands “how difficult this decision will be for people w...

11 h. ago The Guardian view on Trump’s shock therapy: warehouse and transport workers are the first victims of a class war | Editorial

Behind the slogans and tariffs lies a calculated strategy – fuelled by elite interests, eroding labour rights and stoking global recessionThe White House, eager to win a trade war it barely understands, has yanked the emergency brake on China-US trade without checking who’s inside the vehicle. Donald Trump’s early April trade decree has taken a month to hit the economy – that’s how long Chinese containers need to reach Los Angeles. And on cue, US pacific ports registered a 45% drop in container bookings this week from China. When warehouses fall quiet and trucks idle in California, the silence will creep eastward. Unemployment will surely tick upwards.Even if Washington reverses course by the end of May, and Beijing plays nice, the best-case scenario is delayed damage. Some goods are being rerouted to avoid charges, but you can’t reboot global logistics overnight. This isn’t strategic decoupling – it’s economic self-harm. By the time the Trump administration notices, it will be too ...

15 h. ago Women’s Super League and Championship: talking points from the weekend’s action

Marc Skinner needs a deeper squad for Manchester United’s European project and Chelsea’s unbeaten season continues Liverpool’s interim manager, Amber Whiteley, said last month that it was important the club held on to fifth place in the Women’s Super League. They are now sixth after a 2-0 loss to Everton in Sunday’s Merseyside derby at Anfield, which also means they have still only ever won once at the stadium. Liverpool’s position in the table could get worse with one game of the season remaining, with three teams still able to overtake them, including Everton, whose win against their local rivals was secured thanks to goals from Katja Snoeijs and Karen Holmgaard. Liverpool could finish as low as eighth, which would be a sizeable failure for the club given they finished fourth last season.
